EXCELLENT A GREAT COPY - plays very quiet w only light breathing
Carl Flesch (October 9, 1873 - November 14, 1944) was a violinist and teacher.
Born in Moson in Hungary, Flesch studied at the conservatoires in Vienna and Paris. He settled in Berlin, and as well as being known for his solo performances in a very wide range of repertoire (from Baroque music to contemporary), gained fame as a chamber music performer and as a violin pedagogue. He published a number of instructional books, including Die Kunst des Violin-Spiels (1923). Among his pupils were Ida Haendel, Henryk Szeryng, Josef Hassid, Yfrah Neaman, and Eric Rosenblith. He was consulted by Louis Krasner over technical difficulties in the Violin Concerto by Alban Berg which Krasner was to premiere. The Carl Flesch scale system is a staple of violin pedagogy.
Flesch owned the Brancaccio Stradivarius, but had to sell it in 1928 after losing all his money on the New York Stock Exchange.
Flesch died in Lucerne.
Quick NOTE ON GRADING AND SHIPPING:
As you can see from my feedback, I try hard to earn your POSITIVE FEEDBACK and FIVE STAR RATINGS.
If for any reason your transaction was NOT SATISFACTORY, pls contact me and I will work something out with you. YOU WILL NEVER HAVE A REASON TO GIVE ME A NEGATIVE RATING or a LOW STAR RATING.
Quick note on grading:
The Grade (Excellent to Fair, I don't give Mint) refers to the WEAR of the record. Any other defects are stated separately, when prefaced with "HOWEVER" or "BUT" they will be significant.
When I listen to a record, I may also give it an aural grade (again E to F), and make a SUBJECTIVE judgment of the pressing quality for hiss and surface noise.
"SUPERQUIET" is basically noiseless, like a vinyl pressing.
"VERY QUIET" is an exceptionally quiet record for a given pressing.
"Quiet" is a record that is a great example without undue noise for a given pressing.
These judgments are SUBJECTIVE and will depend one the styli, phonograph etc. you use on your own equipment.
Pls check my other auctions for more great records and phonograph items:

Multiple item shipping: I am happy to combine items for shipment in one parcel.
If you win multiple items, pls send me an INVOICE REQUEST to calculate the correct postage. Ebay check out will not give you the multiple item discount!
Records will be packed safely between corrugated cardboard in a sturdy box with plenty of padding for safe shipment.
Shipment is usually Media Mail, unless another service is requested. Shipping is at your risk, I will be happy to insure items at your cost.
I charge actual postage plus a small fee for packing materials
As always, I guarantee your satisfaction. If you don't like the item, just return it, and I will refund the full purchase price.
If you are in the San Francisco area, I encourage pick-up in person.
US Domestic Shipping:
Here is a guideline for US Media Mail Shipping:
Prices below are for regular 78 rpm records. Up to about 5 records, I will ship Edison Discs for the same rates. Estimate count for Album Sets as number of records plus 1 record. I have a great track record for sending LARGE PARCELS of records safely
1 record: 4.75$
2 records: 5.75$
5 records: 7.50$
10 records: 9.50$
MANY MORE RECORDS: Don't worry. I safely ship 40 - 50 pounds of records double boxed in moving boxes, and even then Media Mail will probably not exceed 30$.
The numbers above include the 9% Ebay fee on shipments.
Pls ignore the automatically calculated prices on the ebay site, as I will weigh every parcel and charge based on actual weight.
Please send me a message if you would like to lower your shipping rates!
International Buyers:
All'attenzione degli acquirenti italiani:
ATTENTION TO ITALIAN BUYERS:
Due to rare problems with delivery in ITALY, I will NOT GUARANTEE delivery of parcels sent by US Postal Service First Class and Priority Mail. If you prefer secure delivery, I will be happy to quote you either Registered Mail or shipment by FEDEX
I am very happy to ship records worldwide.
One record usually ships for 20 - 25$ worldwide, 14 - 19$ to Canada
Pls contact me for a shipping estimate, or send me an invoice request after close of auction.
For very large parcels, I have very economic shipping rates, much lower than US MAIL, especially to Japan, Western Europe and Taiwan.
